Remember way back when this man was president of the United States and he claimed that he was a Christian? Well, Christians don't take stances on God's Chosen People and homosexuality that run diametrically counter to what God's Word clearly says.
So Mr. Peanut is as pagan as his teeth are plentiful:
Though he admitted he doesn't have any supporting Scripture, former President Jimmy Carter says he believes Jesus would approve of gay marriage.
Appearing on HuffPost Live, Carter, an evangelical Christian....
Oh, no, he's not: "Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us."
....was asked by host Marc Lamont Hill whether Jesus would support same-sex marriage.
"I believe He would. I believe Jesus would," Carter answered, but admitted, "I don't have any verse in Scripture.".... [emphasis added]
Because there is no such verse in Scripture. Which the Squire of Plains obviously hasn't read any part of for a very long time.
"I believe that Jesus would approve of gay marriage, but I'm not … that's just my own personal belief,"....
His "Jesus" isn't the genuine article, but one of his own convenient fabrication.
....Carter said. "I think Jesus would approve of any love affair that was honest and sincere, and was not damaging to anyone else. And I don't think that gay marriage damages anyone else."
Here are Jesus's thoughts on homosexuality: "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."
Doesn't sound like gay "marriage" "doesn't damage anyone else" after all, does it?
Here are Jesus's thoughts on marriage: "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed."
Not "a man and his husband," or "a woman and her wife". Not much equivocation or fudging room to be found there either.
How would Jesus address and counsel a homosexual "couple"? As He did the adultress, most likely:
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?” They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” She said, “No one, LORD.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.” [emphasis added]
Jesus forgave this woman - as He does all of us who confess our sins and trust in Him to save us - because He died and paid the penalty for her (and all) sins, and because He was concerned with her repenting and accepting His forgiveness and thus saving her soul for eternity. But He did not tell her that she had not sinned, nor did He rationalize or excuse her sin. He did not say, "I know you were having sex outside of marriage, but your adulterous love affair was honest and sincere, and was not damaging to anyone else, so you did nothing wrong." He said, "Go and sin no more".
God, as the expression goes, "hates sin but loves sinners," or He wouldn't have sent His Son to die for them - for us. If Jimmy Carter knew Him, he would know God's thoughts on homosexuality and gay "marriage," and testify accordingly.
But he is not of us, and barring his genuine repentence and conversion, the LORD's only words to the thirty-ninth POTUS will be, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness."
Pray for this man, folks, and for all the homosexual "couples" he's excusing. Because in the absence of confession and repentance, they will all wind up in the place from which Jesus died and rose again to provide them an escape.
